CHARLESTON, S.C. – Coming off its first Southern Conference victory of the season, The Citadel will take its momentum on the road as the Bulldogs head to Western Carolina on Thursday and East Tennessee State on Saturday. Thursday's game vs. the Catamounts tips off at 7:30 p.m. on the SoCon Digital Network.
 
The Bulldogs outlasted Furman last Saturday in an 89-86 thriller. Senior Derrick Henry recorded his first career double-double with 16 points and a career-high 10 rebounds to lead The Citadel. P.J. Boutte added 14 points and six assists. The duo scored 22 second-half points, helping the Bulldogs stave off a furious Furman comeback in the final minutes.  
 
The Citadel is 35-32 all-time vs. Western Carolina, but the Bulldogs are looking to snap an eight-game losing skid in the series. The Citadel's last win over the Catamounts came in 2011. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs have won two of their last three meetings with East Tennessee State.
